THE DARK ROOM

The sun is going down outside the dark room We’re watching things develop inside the dark roomMemories in amber in the dark roomFreezing time on paper in the dark roomWho’s the girl in the photograph with those shimmering eyesShe’s smiling, full of innocence, but life will soon surpriseThe love she takes for granted will soon be goneAnd she’ll never have the chance to make it rightMemories in amber in the dark roomFreezing time on paper in the dark roomWho’s the boy in the photograph with that confident stareHe’s got the look of someone, someone who’s going somewhereBut the journey he’ll be making is not the one he plannedAnd he’ll never have the chance to make it rightMemories in amber in the dark roomFreezing time on paper in the dark room
See the couple in the photograph with their hopes and
dreamsThey thought it would last forever, but it all came apart at the seamsThey thought they were strong, they’d make it throughBut we know so much better… we’re looking at me and at you

Memories in amber in the dark roomWe’re freezing time on paper in the dark room

HEART ON MY SLEEVE

I’m not like other girlsI don’t like chasing curlsI don’t want to play games
I don’t see things the sameI have to speak my mind
We are unique, one of a kindWe must expose our heartsThere are no clothes to keep souls apartHeart on my sleeveDon’t know of any other way to beBut if it scares you, I’ll understandIf you want to leaveThe light refracts from your skinDistorts the facts, won’t let me inA glossy face, a veneerDoes your embrace lie under here?

Horizon falls into placeThe rising sun unravelling the laceThere is no time to build wallsNow is our time to stand tall... and face them allHeart on my sleeveDon’t know of any other way to beBut if it scares you, I’ll understandIf you want to leave

MAD ABOUT YOU

She saw him coming like a cowboy
Swaggering tall against the skyA blazing trail, a man who couldn’t fail to catch her eyeA knowing way, a wisdom that was calling her to flyBut how to tell, how to cast a spell… I’m mad about youHe saw her coming like a sirenHer eyes a thousand coloured lightsA blazing grace surrounding her sweet face… he was aliveA flowing way, a beauty that was calling him to flyBut how to say, before she went away… I’m mad about youUnder the moon at stroke of midnightTwo lost souls outside the danceA little smile, then shyly talkingBut by the sunrise holding handsAnd in her dreams she sees him every night Through joy and through sorrowFor who can know if fortune or if fate may call out tomorrowBut as they rise, into each other eyes they say… I’m mad about you

THE BOOK OF LOVE

The book of love is long and boringNo-one can lift the damn thingIt’s full of charts and facts and figuresAnd instructions for dancingBut I…. I love it when you read to meAnd you… you can read me anythingThe book of love has music in itIn fact that’s where music comes fromSome of it is just transcendentalSome of it is just really dumbAnd I… I love it when you sing to meAnd you… you can sing me anythingThe book of love is long and boringAnd written very long agoIt’s full of flowers and heart shaped boxesAnd things we’re all too young to knowAnd I… I love it when you give me thingsAnd you… you ought to give me wedding rings

SCREAM AT THE SKY

Well you know that I love you, I’m just a little sad todayAnd I can’t stop this crying, can’t make it go awayYou can hold me close and I’ll feel better for a whileBut by the time you’ve left the room, I’ve forgotten how to smileNothing’s really how it seems, I can’t explain why I’m this wayAnd I can’t give you a reason that everything’s too much todayI want to do something stupid, just to make me feel aliveWant to do something stupid and scream at the skyWell you can hold me close and I feel better for a whileBut I’m afraid that when you leave I’ve forgotten how to smileD’you want to do something stupid just to make us feel aliveYes, something really stupid and scream at the sky

FIGHT OR FLIGHT

Heart full of emotionHead full of a notionWalls close in around meShadows, they have found meI don’t know what I’m running fromI don’t know where I’m boundNight streets, they are callingBare feet through the doorwayRun through the kaleidoscopeHigh speed before my head explodesI don’t know what I’m running fromI don’t know where I’m boundI don’t know what is realI don’t know what is rightGuess it’s just… fight or flightCold stone underneath meNo sound, nobodyI flee from my shadowI see only sorrowI don’t know what I’m running fromI don’t know where I’m boundI don’t know what is realI don’t know what is rightGuess it’s just… fight or flight

RISE UP

Hey there, under the stoneI know what it means to do this aloneAnd how much it takes to carry the load

Hey there, under that rockI know how much you care, you devoted the lotBut now, it is time to make a startRise up and seize your libertyHey there, under the spellI know sometimes it’s fine, but sometimes it’s hellAnd you deserve to live your life wellCan you see the turning nowCan you hear your heart so loudCan you feel the warmth surround youWe all want to show you how to…Rise up and seize your liberty

CLOUD

I’m suspended in a momentCushioned in a cloudHeld and peacefulNothing can touch me now

And the world seems light years away…I don’t want to go
I’m sheltered by the silence, exquisitely numbA million miles from heartache… and here… here I am begunAnd to the world outside I don’t want to go… Back… back...I don’t want to goI'm suspended in a momentCushioned in a cloudHappy and peaceful Nothing can touch me now

GASP

Gasp… the shock of the coldGasp… your fingers tripping through my soulGasp… the thrill of the boldGasp… your touch is turning me to goldGasp… the tip of your tongueGasp… the shivers echo through my lungsGasp… awaken the numbGasp… a whole new burning has begunA frozen fire, a deep desireCan you inspire me to feel?Gasp… your eyes see into meGasp… no words my fallen mouth can sayGasp… a glimpse of eternityGasp… a new breath is blowing me awayA frozen fire, a deep desireCan you inspire me to feel?
